2 Story begins Government of India Act 1935 water as a provincial jurisdiction Indus Commission to resolve dispute between Punjab and Sindh partition of Indian Subcontinent. 6 rivers flowing to Pakistan and 2 major head works in Indian territory. Standstill Agreement (18 Dec 1947) pre partition allocation of water in the Indus Basin irrigation system would be maintained [Rights of Prior Appropriation]. India shuts canals entering Pakistan on 1 Apr 1948 [Absolute territorial sovereignty]. Inter Dominion Agreement (4 May 1948) Pakistan to pay for water from Eastern Rivers. Pakistan intended to go to ICJ but India didn t agree. India also withdraws from Barcelona Accord to avoid compulsion for cooperation. 2

Treaty can be terminated by mutual consent only through a ratified treaty. 8
9 Institutional Mechanisms Article VIII: Permanent Indus Commission Consists of Commissioners of Indus Waters, to be appointed by both parties. Both Commissioners as representatives of the governments, authorised to take decisions, to be assisted by 2 advisors. They have privileges and immunities under Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, Minimum one meeting, alternatively in India and Pakistan, every year. Annual Report of the Commission, to be submitted by 30 June every year. 9
10 Dispute Resolution Article IX: Settlement of Differences and Disputes Commission to decide the course of settlement. In case of disagreement between the Commissioners, issue to be referred to a Neutral Expert, to be appointed by WB (Annex F). If the Neutral Expert declares it a dispute, it can be resolved by Negotiators appointed and mutually agreed by both Parties. Court of Arbitration (Annex G), comprising of Two arbitrators to be appointed by both Parties Three arbitrators/umpires, including: Chairman of the Court of Arbitration who may, but need not, be engineers or lawyers. Highly qualified engineer. Person well versed in international law. Standing Panel of Umpires having 4 person in each of the above categories Indus Water Treaty to be the applicable law, but also: International conventions establishing rules which are expressly recognized by the Parties. Customary international law. 10
11 New realities Climatic variability and uncertainty hydrological extremes. Environmental flows requirements IWT does not mention environment or ecology. Rapidly increasingly populations from 485 million in 1961 to 1,390 million in 2011 and increased water needs. Groundwater tables falling rapidly 3 feet annually. Pakistan needs more reservoirs for essential storage, especially for winter (80% reduced flow). Construction of dams by India Khapala Dam on Shyok River and Wullar Barrage on Jhelum River. Baglihar Dam on Chenab Kishanganga Jhelum water diversion scheme by India. Ten more hydro projects on the western rivers, in addition to existing 20+. Technological advancements making it possible to build dams that were not foreseen when the deal was signed. 11
12 A critical look Shortcomings A water apportionment, not water sharing treaty. Fixes India s share from Western Rivers (3.6 MAF) while flows are variable No clarity on how to manage during dry years. No mention of transboundary impact assessment Opportunities for cooperation Joint research Joint watershed management Joint water development and energy generation Confidence building through Track III approach Acceptance for international conventions and customary international law 12
13 Way forward for Pakistan Termination of IWT and signing a new treaty Pakistan may not be in a position of strength Negotiations would take a long time due to diplomatic sensitivities between the two countries No transitional/interim arrangements available to Pakistan Building upon the existing treaty India may not agree UNWC can help, but both Countries are not signatories Treaty can provide basis for cooperation efforts Commissioner to be a diplomat or lawyer, rather than an engineer So what do you suggest? 13
